Knowing the shadows

Chapter 5

Aliyah pov:

After ace introduced us his friends, they started talking and I got bored so I turned and started walking around the house exploring it, its a pretty house, i saw a room, I opened it to check if theres anybody..no one I went inside, I saw a picture on the desk of a guy oh that must be his room I turned around and woah I saw so many books, oh he reads that's cool, I looked at the books, I raised my hand to pick a book and before I open it

"hey what are you doing?" Someone said behind me, scaring me,

"I'm sorry is this your room?",its the same guy in the picture

  "yes" he answered, he saw the book in my hand,

"oh you read?" He said smiling at me, "yeah..you do too you have a lot of books", "yeah I always buy books but I don't read them I don't have time",

"yeah sometimes I do that too I buy but I don't read I have to study",

"I haven't seen you before?' He asked me, "yeah..im a freshmen" i said nodding,

well this is awkward,  i put the book back,

"I need to go back to my friends" I said leaving, "wait..I didn't get your name",

"oh I'm Aliyah ",
"I'm Chris" , I smiled at him and he looked at me for a moment and I just smiled then left, awkward,
I turned to go downstairs I stopped when I heard crying, someone was crying in the bathroom, I slowly started walking to the door, I knocked whispered hello, no answer just crying, I opened the door slowly and saw a girl sitting on the floor crying hugging her knees,

"are you ok?", she looked up at me her face was red her eyes are puffy and red,

"I'm not okay and I will never be"she said sobbing, " I can't live like this anymore", I looked at her right arm it was injured, I sat down infront of her,

"who did this to you?" I asked her, I don't know why but I was so worried, she looked at me again

Shay pov:
"Where did she go, she was standing right behind me?",

"I don't know" Sara said,
ace and his friends left after we talked for a little bit, his friends were nice...
" I'll go upstairs and you go there" I pointed at the kitchen, then we left to search for her, oh my god, I went upstairs, it was quite, I saw some guy,

"hey have you see-",

"yeah I saw her go to the bathroom" he answered, what?, I turned around, I opened the door and saw her with some girl sitting on the floor talking while the girl is crying,

"hey what are you doing here? And what did you do to her?" I said looking at the girl, Aliyah looked up at me

" I found her crying and got worried"she said looking at me then back at the girl, I looked at the girl then back at Aliyah,

"I'm sorry but we need to leave" I told her,

"here take my number you can text me anytime okay?" Aliyah said giving the girl her number getting up from the floor,

"thank you...your so nice" the girl said looking at Aliyah , she doesn't look ok, I feel bad for her I hope she's ok I don't know what she's going through, I hope she gets better, we went downstairs,

"why were you talking to some random girl she was crying too....did you make her cry?", "really..me if I want to make someone cry I will make you cry", I laughed.

Sara pov:
Shay went upstairs, I went to the kitchen, looked around she's not here, I'm so tired I can't even move anymore I sat on the counter, I'm hungry, I looked around trying to find something to eat, my eyes fell on the dounts above the fridge, I smiled yess, I jumped from the counter went straight to the fridge jumped to get the donuts ...shit I can't reach it, I jumped multiple times then I gave up when I felt someone behind me I saw a hand reach the dounts, I turned around to see who is it...its him, he gave it to me without a word, I took it I whispered thanks, he just smiled, I can feel my face turn into a tomato, he noticed that shit that's embarrassing  then he left, I looked at his back till he was out of my sight, I was in shock, did that just happen..

"hey we need to leave" I turned to see shay and Aliyah, I followed them and we left, we were so tired, I went straight to my bed couldn't stop thinking about him.

Aliyah pov:
I couldn't stop thinking about this poor girl, I hope she text me maybe I could help her and the fact that she called me nice when I gave her my number, I opened my phone to watch something before I sleep when I saw a notification from Hayley,

Hayley: thank you for everything.

I mean I didn't do anything I texted her back, I put my phone on the table beside me and slept.
